applicati@ mea Agust 13, 191s. serial No.1 249,618.

To all whom imag concern:

Be it known that I, AUGUST NEYEE, a citi- I zen of Switzerland, residing at the city and 'county oflSan Francisco and State of California, have invented new and useful Improvements in' Hair-Wavin Devices, of which the following is a spec` cation.

This invention relates to a hair waving device, and more particularly toa device forv forming a series of waves better known to the trade as Marcel waves.

One of the objects ofthe present invention is to provide a simple, substantial, easily operated device of the character described by which the hair may be quickly, and, practically speaking, permanently waved.

Another object of the invention is to provide means for electrically heating the waving device, and also of applying the heat in such a manner that the high and low points of the hair waves are subjected to more heat' than the remainder of theI hair.

Another object of the invention is to provide a pair of housings, one adapted to telescope within the other, and a novel frame structure within each housing for the support of the heating elements.

Further objects will hereinafter appear.

The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combination of parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, having reference to the accompany'- ing drawings in which- Figure 1 is a central, vertical, longitudinal section through the hair Waver.

Fig.,2 is a lan view of one of the sections' cOmprising t e hair Waver.

Referring to the drawings in detail, A and B indicate a pair of box-shaped casings which are adapted to telescope one into the other as shown in Fig. 1. ASecured tothe casing B are a plurality of heating elements such as shown at 2, and similarly secured to the casing A are a plurality of heating elements 3. Each heating element is inclosed in a metallic shield or form as shown at 4, and the forms are inv turn secured in frames such as shown at 5 and 6, the'frame 6 being secured in the casing A, and the frame 5 in the casing B. The forms may be secured in the frames in any suitable manner, and the heating elements 3 and 4 are, of course, secured within the forms. Any suitable form of elements may be employed, but it is essential that they be insulated from the forms as shown at 7.

By referring to Fig. 1 it will be seen that when the casings are brought together or telescoped one into the other, that `the heating lelements 2 are staggered with relation to the elements 3; the hair when placed between the elements will, therefore, assume a wave-like formation such as shown.

In actual operation current may be supplied from an-ordinary incandescent lamp circuit through the wires 8' and 9 as shown.

The hair to be waved o r treated is combed out and is preferably dipped in a solution to render the waving effect more or less permanent: After dipping the hair in the solution desired, I find it practical to wrap the hair in tissue paper, and then to place it lengthwise in the casing A Casing B is then telescoped into the casing A, and as the elements 2 will interpose themselves between the elements 3, it can readily be seen that the hair placed vbetween the elements will assume the wave-like formation shown. The hair is now permitted to remain from 10 to 15 minutes and subjected to the heat of the elements during this time period. It

is, therefore, not only thoroglhly dried, but' also baked to such an extent t at practically speaking a permanent wave formation is obtained. The casing sections may now be separated and the paper wrapping removed, thus leaving the casing in readiness for the insertion of more halr. The solution employed in connection with the hair 'for the purpose of rendering the wave-like formationmore or less permanent does not form any part of the present invention, and I similarly wish it understood that the materials and finish of the several parts employed may be such as the experience and jud ent of the manufacturer may dictate.

Ilwlfing thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is:

1. A hair waving device comprising opposed telescoping members, forms withln said members for the reception of the hair, vand means for heating the forms. 2. A hair waving device comprising opposed telescoping casing members, a plurality of,for1ns secured in each casing member and staggered 'with relation to each other, and means for heating the forms,

3. A heir vara-wing device comprising epposed telesccping casing members, e plurality of forms secured in each. casing member and staggered with relation te each other, and en electrically operated' element with each form amd insulated therefrom.

A. A heir Waving device comprising e pair ef casing members @ne adapted te lee wlescoped Within the other, em opening formed in eecli end of each casing member, a, Itreme secured Within the casing9 e 'plurality er interspwceel elliptical-shaped ferme secured reeeece in each frame, seid forms adapted te elterrmtely pese between each other when the cesing sectiensare telesccped, enel an electric heating element Within earch form and insuleted therefrom.
